Landlords are also required to provide a gas safety certificate each year for tenants living in their property. By law, under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, it is a Landlord's responsibility to get a Gas Safety Certificate every twelve months. This must be obtained from a Gas Safe Registered engineer for all pipework, gas appliances and flues installed at your property. It is also recommended that domestic property owners regularly have all gas-related items checked.
These requirements include all pipework, appliances and flues to be checked and confirmed as safe, and they must be maintained to pass the checks. The boiler and appliances will be condemned if they do not pass the checks. A notice sticker will then be placed on the front of the boiler or appliance as a warning of its failure in the check.

A Gas Safe Engineer must carry out the checks, and this work will include:

- The name, registration and signature of the engineer carrying out the check.
- The date it was checked.
- The address where the checks were performed.
- Any defect(s) that is identified and any remedial works required.
- A statement confirming the safety checks that were completed comply with the regulations of the Gas Safety Regulations 1998.
